Bruce Cassidy, the former Vegas Golden Knights coach who was fired in March, says the team is preventing him from interviewing with other NHL organizations. According to Cassidy, he wants to return to coaching and has requested opportunities to meet with teams about open roles. He claims Vegas has barred other clubs from speaking with him, limiting his ability to pursue new work.
Cassidy said he has been blocked from interviewing with two teams, according to reporting that reflects his view of the situation. Other accounts characterize his comments as a complaint that the Golden Knights are keeping teams from contacting him directly.
The reports describe Cassidy’s frustration but do not provide details about the specific terms involved or any response from Vegas. As presented by the outlets, the issue centers on Cassidy’s assertion that contractual or administrative restrictions connected to his departure from Vegas are limiting his access to potential employers. The situation is ongoing as Cassidy seeks coaching opportunities elsewhere in the NHL.
